You will receive two PDF documents which can be downloaded immediately after payment.

PDF 1: First you crochet the single flower motifs. For this you get a detailed and well illustrated pattern. Since many motifs of the same kind are needed, you will soon manage to crochet the flowers without having to look in the pattern. Then you can always crochet a few flower motifs in between. This way you can continue your work on the go.

PDF 2: In the next step, the 22 motifs will be joined together (crocheted). Here you need more concentration. In the pattern everything is described in detail. In addition, you will find many very detailed pictures in the pattern. Step by step you join all the flower motifs to a figure.
